MYRTLE POINT POINTERS
Miss Wiunie Spires entertained a
few of her young lady friends Sat­
urday evening in honor of Miss Cal­
ls Chandler. It was in the form of
a shower, and a very enjoyable time
was bad, with music and refresh­
ments.
Mrs. Henry Strong entertained
twenty-five friends at her home on
the North Fork on Friday, the 11th,
in honor of Miss Marjory Lowe. It
was a miscellaneous shower aud the
young lady received many useful
and beautiful gifts, from silver down
to the unpretentious tin. All kinds
of lineD, etc. A fine luncbeoD was
served and “ »11 went merry as a
marriage bell’’ which we expect to
soon echo down the valley.
Presence of mind is a much to be
desired quality, but we rarely see it
so fully developed as in the case of
F. E. Stuthraayd’s eight year old
girl, Edna. She and her baby sis-
ter, one year old, were thrown from
the high seat of a farm wagoo, right
behind the heels of a colt. Her
father caught the colt by the bits
and held it, while Edna dragged the
baby out between the horses heels
and the wheel. Except a few bruises
neither child sustained aoy injury.
Truly here is a little heroine to be
proud of.
Mrs. C. H. Southmayd is quite
helpless with rheumatism from
which she is a constant sufferer.
She is unable to take a step with­
out assistance.
